We're going to need journalists to stop talking about synthetic text extruding machines as if they have *thoughts* or *stances* that they are *trying* to *communicate*. ChatGPT can't *admit* anything, nor *self-report*. Gah.

I would like to remind the world that you actually don't have to get into bed with OpenAI. StackOverflow was a beacon of resistance, but I guess their principles were for sale after all.

nostr:npub12gp692dtfy6uyvf3spdks6r4fzgx9lu5j28adyf469nae57q7zascs88n8 maybe you're assuming I haven't read it?
The point if my question was about making it more broadly available because it is so relevant today.

German title: „Die Macht der Computer und die Ohnmacht der Vernunft“ (“The Power of Computers and the Powerlessness of Reason".) I did read it, when i was still in school (borrowed from a university library) then did a reimplementation of Eliza.

Or who knows, maybe a dark horse episode will take the lead!
nostr:npub1hkrjd0ksse02j7d2937rg0d928dkuqcl3rge637fkr5asr8rnx3qsjlqus Yeah, evening events here aren't super accessible elsewhere. But we do get to do evening events sometimes!
Extra super looking forward to this! (And since I don't speak Heptapod A (nor read Heptapod B), I haven't yet experienced it.)

nostr:npub1x76h45qtkh5356kjjdee5y9k09572x0rwztp6uk0d9zn05jdcmysxg2qpx and I dug into the ridiculousness that is the GPT-4 system card, "Sparks of AGI", and the "AI Pause" letter.

nostr:npub13vj2zrsaas2gcngctp6766vlnfaxhaun6pzh7v5xnnl4ka48k9ss7a9alu Well yes, as I have been saying since at least the publication of:
"We urge policymakers to instead draw on solid scholarship that investigates the harms and risks of AI—and the harms caused by delegating authority to automated systems" w/ nostr:npub1x76h45qtkh5356kjjdee5y9k09572x0rwztp6uk0d9zn05jdcmysxg2qpx in Scientific American
nostr:npub1e0a6n84krygh2qc3ajptu4fa4ma0qy53acz8smsyhztgxljxkghsureww0 I teach an undergrad class on technology and society and of courses added a week on AI for us to discuss. I think this would make a great additional reading, as you provide great info but also give a very human (i.e. non-perfect) account of your own experience. The analogy of an “oil spill” into information ecosystems is also nice - and maybe sticky. I would love if students started thinking about when they may be encountering an oil spill.

"Rather than meet societal obligations to invest in education and physical and mental care, AI’s advocates risk creating a two-tier system where artificial facsimiles will be deemed good enough for those without means—but the well-to-do will hire actual humans."
